Mario Kart World has a feature where you can charge a jump by holding the drift button and not moving the joystick far enough to initialize a drift. Once you jump, you can do a trick and get a speed boost. Pretty cool, actually! I dig it. Apparently, this can also be used to train tricks, so you can jump and do a trick and then trick in a place you'd normally be able to directly after. That's going to be insane.
@Ace66062 yeah that's what i was thinking, it seems like they really wanted to bridge the gap between casual and competitive players with something much easier to do and understand while also having a high skill ceiling with more variables to think about. amazing change.
